    I wouldn't consider this a deal 300 maybe but for 369 even with free ship a bit much for a no name only 50hz and 8w speakers I pass.

    At first I read it as Panasonic. Every time, every damn time.

      Probably exactly what was hoped for ;D

        Remarkable prescience from a couple of Aussies naming their company 3 years before the brand Panasonic even existed.

        • You sure that was the name back then?
          Their website says they traded under Airmaster and Princess brands. They bought the "Palsonic" brand name only recently, presumably only because of the resemblance to Panasonic.

        • I was a bit surprised by what you said, because I came across the name Palsonic much later than Panasonic, so I went looking for evidence. Initial searches turned up this page about Panasonic and this page about Palsonic. A quick scan of those pages seemed to support your statement.

          However, I went digging further and found this PDF file. In there, the name "NG Enterprises Pty Ltd (Palsonic)" is used all over the place. So I suspect the company was initially established as "NG Enterprices" and later created the brand Palsonic in order to cash in on the Panasonic name.

        • As above, looking into your claim that that Palsonic existed before Panasonic seems to indicate that Panasonic was established in 1918. The company behind Palsonic was estabished in 1958, but Palsonic was not used as a brand name until later. Where did you read this information?

    I've had pretty good experiences with Palsonic. Obviously not as fancy as name brands but just as reliable.
